Yeah, I'm always sick after anesthesia, no matter what they do. Sounds like a quick recovery. Friend me up on Facebook if you want. http://www.facebook.com/sigler Tracy Hey Paul,

It went very well (except for the vomiting in the recovery room and I bit my lip while they were pulling out the breathing tube). I feel pretty good. My doctor was all psyched about the surgery because the cyst was not in the 3rd ventricle but was grown up in the tubes, odd shaped and very unusual. Possibly one of a kind. I worked hard to get up and move around as well as sit in a chair etc. Thanks again for the kind encouraging words it certainly helped me with the courage to face this. I will check in from time to time. I feel like I can call you a friend - so thanks friend. PF Tracy,

I'm glad you have those resources available. My doc told me over four years ago that endoscopic had made huge advances just in the couple years after my surgery. So I'm sure they'll be able to easily take care of the cyst. Yes, your hospital time should be short. I went in on Wed and left Sat morning, and I had two surgeries.

As fate has it my wife works for the president of the best nero. surgery hospital in our city. He set me up with the best team from our universities medical program. as this is all going fast I'm a bit freaked but they will be doing a minimally invasive endoscopic surgery so I think the time in hospital will be short and I can get back to teaching before the semester starts first week of Sept. thanks again for the encouraging words and I WILL contact you once I'm home and settled. Thanks again paul Tracy,

I found out yesterday(7/25/11)(by accident) I have a cyst on the brain. I went in for a CT scan of my sinus to prepare for a deviated septum surgery. Within an hour of getting home I got the call from my ENT Dr. I really don't even know what he said I was so shocked. I went for an MRI this morning (yes I have awesome insurance) now i'm playing the waiting game. Hopefully I'll hear soon, as of right now I just gotta wait. Your story put me at ease some. Hopefully I won't need surgery but if I do the videos and story tell me I will be ok and just have to relax. Thanks Paul Tracy,

I am a RN so none of that grossed me out. If fact enjoyed the videos of the actual surgery. I was certainly interested in your recovery and your appearance post op. From the pics of you post surgery, your head looks great. I'm sure you are more self conscious about but it, but what what you hav endured, you need a little bit of a battle scar. I appreciate you story as I'm sure others will benefit from it. It's always good to know that you are not alone in a situation like this. Wishing you a happy, healthy life to come.
